On the impact of limiting beliefs...

'If you accept a limiting belief, then it will become a truth for you.' Louise Hay

Limiting beliefs work deep within our psyche and prevent us from being our best selves..

 

[BrokenArrow]

What she says is true. In theory, at least.

The problem I found with that stuff is that it's much, much harder to get rid of limiting beliefs than the self-help books make it out to be. Our neurological programming runs deep and you can't simply overwrite it by chanting a mantra a few times a day or focusing on an 'empowering' belief for 20 mins a day, or whatever.

I think the self-help industry massively oversells certain ideas and concepts, as there's so much money to be made from book sales and seminar sales.
